A trillion dollars for an empty heart
I would trade all the wealth to keep you here
By vibrant ghostPublished 4 months ago • 1 min read
You’re gone from this world
And he just became a trillionaire
Billions of billions and it means nothing
You’re not here
It’s not right
He can buy anything in the world
He can crown himself king
But he is an empty husk without a soul
Behind his eyes, there’s nothing
You, a tiny soul, no awareness of wealth
Had all the value he will never have
It’s a damn shame the wealthy live longer than cats
